Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Befestigen einer Leuchte oder eines Scheinwerfers in einer Öffnung einer Fahrzeugteilwand, wobei die Leuchte oder der Scheinwerfer den Rand der Öffnung der Fahrzeugteilwand zumindest abschnittsweise überdeckt oder von diesem überdeckt wird, und die Leuchte oder der Scheinwerfer mit mindestens einem gegenüber der Leuchte oder dem Scheinwerfer schwenkbaren Befestigungsmittel (3) an einer zweiten Karosserieteilwand (5b) befestigbar ist, und dadurch die Leuchte oder der Scheinwerfer (1) in der Öffnung (2) der Karosserieteilwand (5a) haltbar ist.The invention relates to a device for attaching a lamp or a headlight in an opening of a vehicle part wall, the light or the headlight covers the edge of the opening of the vehicle part wall at least in sections or is covered by this, and the lamp or the headlight with at least a fastener that can be swiveled relative to the lamp or the headlight (3) can be fastened to a second body part wall (5b), and thereby the lamp or the headlight (1) in the opening (2) of the body part wall (5a) is durable.

Durch die Erfindung wird es ermöglicht, Leuchten oder Scheinwerfer wie z. B. Zusatzbremsleuchten oder seitliche Blinkleuchten zwischen zwei Fahrzeugteilwänden zu befestigen, ohne daß die Zugänglichkeit zwischen die Fahrzeugteilwände erforderlich ist. Damit können derartige Leuchten auch in Fahrzeugteilwänden, die an Hohlräume von Fahrzeugteilen grenzen, angeordnet werden.

Figure 00000001
The invention enables lights or headlights such. B. to attach additional brake lights or side turn signals between two vehicle part walls without the need for accessibility between the vehicle part walls. In this way, lights of this type can also be arranged in vehicle part walls which adjoin cavities in vehicle parts.
